26626. Adulteration of salmon.    IT. S. v. 2,069 Cases of Pink Salmon.    Consent
decree of condemnation.    Product ordered released under bond.    (F. &
D. no. 38425.    Sample nos. 23599-C, 23644-C.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of salmon that was in part decom- 
posed.
On October 16, 1936, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 2,069 cases of pink 
salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about August 29 and September 4, 1936, by the Deep Sea 
Salmon Co., from Skowl Arm, Alaska, and charging adulteration in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On December 2, 1936, the Deep Sea Salmon Co., claimant, having admitted 
the allegations of the libel, consent decree of condemnation was entered and it 
was ordered that the product be released under bond, subject to compliance with 
provisions of the Food and Drugs Act.
AI. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
